  • Abstract
    Regioselective quaternization of chitosan and its amphiphilic derivatives has been carried out by means of reaction with betaine in the presence of the coupling reagent 2-ethoxy-1-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ) in aqueous media at pH 5.5 ± 0.5. This reaction results in preparation of N-/(trimethylammonio)acetyl/chitosan chloride and its amphiphilic derivatives. The degree of quaternization increases with increasing EEDQ/chitosan ratio and is partly accompanied by N-ethoxycarbonylation. That side-product formation can be minimized by increasing betaine/EEDQ ratio.
